Abstract:		 As the result of an archaeological condition on the planning permission for the development of a site at Little Lane, Pirton, Herts, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developer to undertake a programme of archaeological investigation of the site. The work included a desk-based assessment and a field evaluation, which demonstrated the presence of low density archaeological features including one which was dated to the 10th-12th century. On the basis of the preliminary work, the footprints of the new buildings and their access road were investigated in open area. Where possible, identified features and deposits were protected by geotextile and preserved in situ. Where disturbance or destruction of these was inevitable, they were fully recorded. Three areas were opened up and a high level of 19th and 20th century disturbance was shown to be present. Nevertheless, two ditches of probable late Saxon date were recorded, and the presence in a later feature of pottery dating to the 10th - 11th centuries suggests that further features exist in the vicinity. It seems likely that the settlement recorded between 1995 and 1997 on the west side of Little Lane, may have extended into the present site.
